Best Personalized Necklaces to Gift (and Wear Every Day)
Some jewelry you wear. Some jewelry you keep. A personalized necklace is both — the kind of piece that holds meaning every time it catches the light. Whether you're searching for a birthday gift, a push present, a bridesmaid token, or simply something to treat yourself, a personalized necklace is one of those rare finds that never feels wrong.
At LolaBean, every piece in our personalized collection is handcrafted in our New York City studio using high-quality materials and natural gemstones. We've been making jewelry this way since 2005 — by hand, with care, and with the belief that a piece of jewelry should mean something.
Here's our guide to the best personalized necklaces worth gifting and wearing every single day.

Why Personalized Necklaces Make the Best Gifts
There's a reason personalized jewelry consistently tops gift guides: it transforms something beautiful into something theirs. An initial, a birthstone, a meaningful letter — these small details turn a necklace into a keepsake. They're gifts that say "I thought about you specifically," which is the hardest thing to fake and the easiest thing to feel.
They also happen to be incredibly wearable. A personalized necklace works layered with other chains, worn alone on a delicate chain, or dressed up for a night out. It moves through seasons and occasions without ever feeling out of place.

Best for: May birthdays, anyone who loves color, or a gift that stands out from the usual gold options.
How to Choose the Right Personalized Necklace
Think about her style first — does she tend toward minimal and understated, or does she love color and texture? From there, consider the occasion. A birthday calls for a birthstone if you know her month; an anniversary or friendship gift often works best with an initial style. And if she loves to layer, a set or simple disc necklace pairs beautifully with longer chains she may already own.
Still not sure? An Initial Disc Necklace ($75) is the safest "can't miss" gift in the collection — wearable by anyone, meaningful for everyone.

Best Occasions for a Personalized Necklace Gift
A personalized necklace is one of those rare gifts that works year-round. Birthdays are the obvious choice — especially when you can match a birthstone to her month. But anniversaries, Mother's Day, baby showers, bridesmaid proposals, and graduation gifts are all perfect moments for a piece with her name or initial. Even the holidays feel more thoughtful when the gift is made just for her.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best material for an everyday personalized necklace?
We recommend gold-filled for daily wear — it offers the look and warmth of fine gold jewelry with far better durability than gold plating. Every LolaBean piece is made with high-quality materials designed to be worn every day.
Can I layer initial necklaces?
Absolutely. We recommend pairing a 16-inch initial disc or tag necklace with an 18-inch satellite chain for a perfect tiered look. The Satellite Initial Necklace was specifically designed with layering in mind.
How long does personalized jewelry take to ship?
Since each piece is handcrafted in our NYC studio, please allow [INSERT YOUR PRODUCTION DAYS] business days for production before shipping. Standard ground shipping is free on all US orders.
What's the difference between an initial necklace and a name necklace?
An initial necklace features a single letter — subtle, wearable, and versatile. It's the most giftable option because it works for any name. Our collection focuses on beautifully crafted initial pieces that feel personal without being overly literal.
Which birthstone necklace makes the best gift?
It depends on her birth month. Our Citrine Initial Disc Necklace is perfect for November birthdays, the Ruby Initial Disc Necklace is ideal for July, and the Personalized Emerald Tag Necklace suits May birthdays beautifully.
Is a personalized necklace a good anniversary gift?
Yes — it's one of the most meaningful anniversary gifts you can give. The Personalized Tag Necklace ($135) and the Ruby Initial Disc Necklace ($95) are both popular anniversary choices.
